Bolton continued his efforts to drag out withdrawal from Syria for as long as possible:
President Trump’s national security adviser, John R. Bolton, rolled back on Sunday Mr. Trump’s decision to rapidly withdraw from Syria, laying out conditions for a pullout that could leave American forces there for months or even years.One of the reasons that I didn’t believe that U.S. withdrawal from Syria would really happen was the presence of Bolton and Pompeo on Trump’s national security team. As committed Iran hawks, they have strong incentives to delay and undermine any withdrawal plan, and Bolton is already doing that with his current trip abroad to “reassure” regional clients. It seems that they will pay lip service to the long-term goal of withdrawal, play along.

I’d trust a rabies infected Rat before I would trust Bolton or
ReplyDeletePompeo. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Damn.

DeletePerhaps Bolton and Pompeo haven't been paying attention. The last two years have proven that Trump has NO PROBLEM with showing his subordinates the door if they don't get the job done. And I have little doubt he'll dump either or both of these if they don't piss or get off the pot about doing what he tells them to do. That's the attitude of a businessman over a politician.....produce or GTFO.
